Frowning, Matilda thought it over and suggested, “Call John and have him come over here. I need to
talk to him.”
Sophia burst out in laughter. “I’m not the one who wants to meet him, so why should I call him?”
Staring at Matilda incredulously, she emphasized, “Why would you come here and ask me to help you
on your matters? Have you forgotten that we have a lukewarm relationship?”
Matilda glared at her. “You…” But she could not finish the rest of the sentence. Sophia was right; their
relationship was lukewarm. She only found her way here out of desperation.
Seeing that her ex-mother-in-law couldn’t reply, Sophia laughed at her. “You can ask Isabelle for help.
She can get in touch with John, right? Isn’t it better to ask her for help?”
Matilda’s expression froze in embarrassment. The first person she thought of was definitely Isabelle,
but in the few calls, the latter kept saying that she was busy. Matilda was unsure if Isabelle was really
busy, but she knew for a fact that when she had called Isabelle in the past, the girl could always make
time.
After a pause, Matilda pursed her lips and uttered, “Belle is busy.”
Realizing that even Isabelle was avoiding her, Sophia snapped back, “Oh, I’m busy too. Can’t you see
how busy I am right now?”
Matilda’s face soured, and she looked displeased, which was of no concern to Sophia, who hummed
and prepared everything for the day's business.
It didn’t take long for customers to come in. Matilda sank into a debate, but she didn’t leave. Instead,
she planted herself at a table near the window, determined to stay put.
Sophia didn’t bother to deal with her and only focused on running her business. Time flew by, and the
crowds started to reduce. After some thinking, Sophia told Robin, “Let’s make a coffee for her. It looks
quite odd for her to sit there with no food or drinks.”
Robin nodded and prepared a cup of coffee that was served to Matilda. Matilda was surprised at the
service and turned around to look at Sophia, who was not even paying attention in that direction.
In the past, Sophia wanted to witness Matilda’s fall from grace. That old and crusty woman is going to
land herself into trouble sooner or later.
However, when Matilda was struggling in life, Sophia didn’t feel much about the change.
She was not extremely happy about it because her life resumed like usual, unchanged in any way by
Matilda’s predicament. In fact, she was too busy every day to even care about Matilda’s life.
After sitting for a while, Matilda left without waiting for Sophia to finish work. Robin went up to clear the
table and informed Sophia when she was back, “She didn’t touch the coffee. Not even one sip.”
Sophia smiled. ‘I guessed so.” Matilda was a very prideful woman and would not easily accept Sophia’s
show of kindness. That was good news because it meant that Matilda would not drop by anymore.
When Matilda left Sophia’s store, she ran out of places to go. The Flintstones rented a place for her
and even though they worded it nicely, what they wanted was for her to live on her own without
dragging her own family into the mud.
These few days, she spent all her time awake on her own. As the controversy was building up over
these few days, she had stayed in her house to avoid trouble. Actually, she called up a lot of people in
her connections, but none picked up her call as if everyone abandoned her right away when she was at
the center of the storm.
She stood beside the street for a while and hailed a cab. In the cab, she shared the address of Bailey
Corporation with the idea of taking a look over there.
During her journey, she was thinking hard about her next steps. The Constances made it clear that
after her divorce from William, she would have no business with him anymore. They also explained to
her that William had no relationship whatsoever with the woman in the hospital, an explanation which
she did not believe, but her opinions were irrelevant anymore.
